The Toronto Blue Jays were the first team to meet with free agent superstar Juan Soto this week in California regarding his possible future in Toronto.
Many fans and insiders believe that Soto might be using the Blue Jays as a stepping stone to set his price for the teams he is truly interested in, much like Shohei Ohtani did last off-season but it looks like that might not be the case.
Information announced regarding Juan Soto’s meeting with the Blue Jays
The Blue Jays were the first team to meet with Soto in free agency and it looks like they made quite the impression on him during the meeting.
According to MLB insider Jon Heyman, the Blue Jays and the Red Sox truly impressed Soto at their meeting but he did not announce the factors as to why he believes things went so well.
Hear at least Jays and Red Sox owners made impressive in-person presentations to Juan Soto, but multiple team owners are yet to present and will do so in coming days.
According to certain reports, the Red Sox brought in legend David Ortiz to the meeting but there has been no confirmation on if the Blue Jays had Vladimir Guerrero Jr there since they are close friends.
While most believe that the New York Mets are still the front runners to land Soto this off-season, there is a chance that these meetings might have changed certain things around.
The exact number and term the Blue Jays are willing to offer Soto has yet to be announced but it is believed to be over $600 million.
